Keep up at the back: There’s an evolving situation for Europe’s most significant bike show, Eurobike, with its organisers adjusting and now opting to reverse the decision to silo the ‘sport/performance’ and ‘urban mobility’ elements into two shows.

Are men maybe too emotional for positions of leadership?

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Feels like this might come up in a pub quiz: Films with the widest cinema release in the UK - 1: No Time to Die, 2: Downton Abbey 2, 3: Rise of Skywalker. Unexpected, this is https://t.co/f1t2geamar

Was the @Telegraph Editor on their hols? Nope and the social media ed has purposefully picked out this spiteful line for max exposure. Would be great if a few advertisers thought twice about advertising with a publication that pours scorn on those with cancer.

Increasingly odd spam emails these days. One offering a list of churches and another asking for price list and availability as a wedding venue. Not sure the boss was thinking of diversifying income streams along those lines.

@rcolvile @CPSThinkTank UK's spent a lot of time lambasting single parent families and profligate parents. The message has very much been 'only have the kids you can afford'... the fact that parents are having kids later or not at all is not unconnected.

Agreed! I hate it when people hijack #Remembrance for virtue signalling!
